  • Summary

  • In 1988, a new cultural youth movement, known as Acid House, swept across the UK. Was it born out of the disaffection of Thatcher’s Britain? Was it down to the new musical styles emerging from Detroit and Chicago? Or was it just all about The Drugs? Whatever it was, everyone wanted in on it, and before long, it felt like an entire generation was raving in a field with their hands in the air, dreaming of a Promised Land where we would all be Free. Kate Magic was a teenager in those early heady days of acid house, and once the initial euphoric rush had subsided, and everyone had gone back to the job of integrating those experiences into regular life, she always wondered, what really happened then? Why was that time so pivotal for millions of us? In 2007, she set about interviewing a wide spectrum of people who were in London between 1987-1992 and were caught up in the scene. This podcast is a collection of some of those original interviews and some new ones with some of our Acid House heroes. BUY THE BOOK https://88revolution.bandcamp.com/
